■ ATTACHING STAY TO LOWER UNIT - ROD UNIT 3.25
Use a winch handle to crank the terminal completely out of
the lower unit.
Make sure halyard swivel and torque tube have been slipped
on the foils.
Slip the rod adapter main body onto the rod.
Sandwich the nosepiece over the rod and insert into the main
body, narrow end first. Jiggle the main body or use a small
screwdriver to push the nosepiece completely into main
body.
Put several drops of the blue Loctite
®
on the large threads
of the stud. Thread the stud into the main body until the
slot aligns neatly with the hole in the main body.
Hammer the pin into the main body.
Clean excess Loctite
® from the terminal body using special
care to insure that no Loctite ® is present on the lower threaded
stud.
TIP: Sight through the pin hole to find the optimum thread
engagement. Make sure the stud is threaded far enough so
the pin is securely seated in the slot, yet not threaded too
far to block the pin.
